Skype for Mass-Market Mobile Phones

I use Skype all the time and find it very reliable in my day to day calls.  Having it on my device will be a huge advantage for some of the calls I make.  At this point in time, the devices that are supported are limited and one can only hope that Skype will make this beta version available for Windows Mobile devices soon.

Following recent moves to extend Skype conversations to a wide variety of new mobile and wireless devices, Skype is taking another major step as it continues to merge its internet communications software with mobile phones. Today, the company released a beta version of Skype for your mobile, a mobile “thin“ client that works on about 50 of the most popular Java-enabled mobile phones from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

The beta version of Skype for your mobile is available worldwide with a feature set that includes chat, group chat, presence (seeing when your contacts are online), and receiving calls from Skype users, and through SkypeIn.* Additional features, which include the making of Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut calls from the mobile handsets, are initially supported in seven markets: Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Unlimited International Calls

…. for $9.95/month

As long as I have an Internet connection I can make a call and my experience with Skype’s unlimited calls to the U.S. and Canada for $3 a month has been nothing less than extraordinary.  I would expect this new Skype plan will be just as good.

So what are they doing?  Well, it is a pretty neat plan for those of you that have a real need to make overseas calls.  Today, Skype introduced its first plan for unlimited calls to overseas phones and this plan will allow unlimited calls to land-line phones in 34 countries for $9.95 per month.  The included countries are most of Europe as well as  Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Malaysia.

Calls to domestic land lines and cell phones are included as well, as are calls to cell phones in Canada, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, but not cell phones in other countries.
